Yes salt kills them but it also washes away in the rain and when watering.

obviously more involved and not sure that it is warranted in terms of overall output.

@@BobKelland I tested it yesterday when a brand new 300 watt panel. I tilted it 45 degrees and then kept tilting it to 80 degrees. I didn't see a difference in output.

@@Gary-ee3kq did you have a load on it?

@@BobKelland yes I'm powering my house grid panel with (5) 300 watt panels through a 240v inverter chaege controllercombo unit. I was only using 200 watts running the TV, and various lights, modem ect at the time. I only tilted 1 out of the 5 panels in the 5s config.

@@Gary-ee3kq might be good to check output of a panel at various angles with just a resistive load using voltmeter and ammeter.

Yes you need some kind of speed control. I'm trying to get an opportunity to make my latest version of the speed control. Should get at it before winter.

Thanks!

:) But don't be tempted to actually try it. Slugs are deadly to your health. At least one documented case where the young man passed away after eating one.

@@BobKelland Yeah I know, It just suddenly popped up in my mind when I saw a slug covered in the red spicy powder

Not really. Salt will kill the slugs but the problem is it will wash away with rain and watering so not that good of an option.

@@BobKelland use copper foil

I forget but open for suggestions. Want to fo first?

And it gets washed away easily.

@@Rich-vp4ih creative thought!

:) Only solution is an electric fence (if you have a raised bed garden), with a bit of care it is 100% effective. I have a bunch of videos related to that on my channel. Don't give up, they are slugs!

Glad you like it!

@@meteorquake9 sounds like it might work but best to test small area first.

@@BobKelland I tried them last night, and they really dislike them; I have made a bleach mist spray to use before sleep, which hopefully will also degrade their trails as they likely follow each other. They seemed to dislike all spices when I wafted them near them, but I'm hoping black pepper will be more resilient in terms of staying power. It also occurs to me that moth balls might be pretty good in a bad situation as they last a long time.

@@meteorquake9 Moth balls idea is a new one to me, should be interesting. BTW I did two separate videos relating to this. Should find both on my channel. Yes seems to me black pepper should last so could be another good solution. If you have a raised bed garden the best way to keep the slugs out of it is the electric fence. Lots of info on that on my channel too.

Thanks, might try again this summer.

Thanks Paul. It was an interesting experiment.

Haven't tried it. You never know until tested.

Shhh

Nice windmill that you have there i wish i have one of those

Yeah no way they can survive high winds without some kind of speed control. I'm hoping to get back at a new system later this summer. Will likely have a video on it.

That's the plan!

Thanks. Yes it works good. I didn't show it in the video but you continue the washing process the potato peels will all come off.

@@BobKelland I tried the idea in a container in my sink, but it was splashing a lot of water all over my kitchen desk. I would need a bucket with a lid and a hole in its center, I guess. I think im just going to buy a peeler machine instead. They are only about 30 dollars.

@@CT2507 Outside is best with this idea.

@@BobKelland Yea, if I had a garden I would do it this way.

Just a few mins

Thanks!

Long gone :)

Decaffeinated?

Great! Keep your house pets clear of them.

If you have a raised bed the best approach is the electric fence. I have some examples on my channel.

I covered copper and other materials in a separate video. Check my YT channel. Copper doesn't work.

I'm pretty sure he would have known that (if it's true).

A minor concern. Kids have been experimenting with 9 volt batteries like these on their tongues for ages. To my knowledge, no problems.
